Now I'm gonna have to do the #4's, heh :D
On a side note, it's odd how many times Air Supply hit #5. Also, from my Top 100 Bands 1986 quiz, despite "I Miss You" only peaking at #5, it actually made #3 on the Top 100 songs of the year, I assume due to the amount of time it spent up there.
Ah, Sporcle, filling my mind with musical anomalies, thanks!

@Alex: Actually, I'm thinking of jumping straight to #27 songs of the 1980s: Ship of Fools, Soul City, Never Let Me Down, Mother's Talk, Money Changes Everything, Leave A Tender Moment Alone, New Song, Roll Me Away, Tenderness, Hold On Loosely, We Live For Love, Set Me Free...
...and even some obscure songs!

If it is a top ten by Air Suppply: If its title contains love, it went past 5; if not is peaked at 5.

@rockgolf: Oddly, I just had my World Party CD out last week because something reminded me of "Ship of Fools" (awesome song!). I MISS THE 80s!

I definitely LOL'd at the URL. Short Circuit FTW. One minor correction: you seem to have forgotten to capitalize the N in INXS.

@Nhrafan: Nope, that's how it should be spelled. The name is a pun on "in excess".

Is it? Everywhere I've seen it written, it has all the letters capitalized. I did know about the pun, though.

INXS officially capitalizes it. No sense arguing with them about how they spell their own name. Also, you might accept "guns and roses" for those of us who forgot they use N'.
